The top three names on the oddsboard? Each has deep connections to the Cowboys franchise. See the latest odds.
If the Dallas Cowboys want to improve their rushing attack in the offseason, one speedy former first-round pick presents an intriguing trade option.
Deion Sanders and Kellen Moore are the two names tied the most often to the Dallas Cowboys since the franchise moved on from Mike McCarthy last Monday.
Unlike NFL teams that have to follow protocols to interview current NFL coaches, there is no such red tape to navigate when a franchise wants to chat with a college coach. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could have Deion over to The Star, or a Starbucks, and that’s an interview.
Interviews of Saleh and Frazier would satisfy the NFL’s Rooney Rule, which requires NFL teams to interview at least two diverse candidates for head coaching vacancies. Jerry Jones has also reportedly talked to Colorado coach and former Cowboys star Deion Sanders.
Tashard Choice and DeMarco Murray both became college RB coaches after the NFL. Now they could vie for the same staff job in Dallas.
Sports experts have argued that McCarthy's three (12-5) winning seasons may not have been a strong enough case to keep him in Dallas for a sixth season.
Moore, undrafted out of Boise State, played for the Cowboys from 2015 to 2017 before transitioning into the team's quarterbacks coach in 2018. He was then given the OC responsibilities from 2019 to 2022 and was a holdover from Jason Garrett's staff to McCarthy's.
Dallas has requested to interview Seattle assistant head coach Leslie Frazier for its head coaching vacancy, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Dallas Morning News. Frazier would be the second known name in the Cowboys’ search, joining former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
The Cowboys’ coaching candidates are sparking plenty of debate; Dallas adds two offensive playmakers in Dane Brugler’s latest mock draft.
